I'm leaving a four pass x264 encode on overnight with all settings maxed (my 3 ghz core 2 duo is kicking ass at 4 fps atm, whoo!). Then I'll make a comparison with xvid and post it here, probably in a new thread.

I just worked up a small part of the intro, and I'm making some great progress. I've seem to gotten the quality down, but now the file size is worrying me. To fix the quality, I downloaded the newest fraps, changed my in game resolution to 1600x1200, and changed all my vegas templates to match as well. The quality is amazing now. I just got done rendering a small, two minute clip, and it's about 85 megs. At that rate, my end video would be like 1200 MBs, which is way, way too much. I rendered it as a .wmv, CBR single pass, 30FPS, 1600x1200, 5MB video. My target size/length was about 30 mins and 6-700MB. What's my next step from here? Just keep lowering the MB down from 5 until I reach a happy medium of quality/file size? Thanks so much for the help, I'm getting there! |

Fraps versions greater than 2.8.0 can record up to 2560x1600 on dualcore systems. |

Oh see your reply there.
So first of all you should be recording at 1280x1024 which is sort of enough. Most watchers dont have monitors that can display higher resolutions than that and it'd get the output size down a bit. Quote:

So I just got done rendering a bunch of files, and hit another wall it seems while working with the DiVX codec.
So far I've been compressing everything as a .WMV; VBR Bitrate, 5MB, 1600x1200 Resolution. Since I have no where near enough free space to keep the raw footage, I figure I can compress the clips to a HQ format and then consider compressing post editing if the file size is too much. The quality is pretty good, and I'm very happy with how far I've came. While trying to compress to DiVX to upload some samples to Stage6, I ran into a problem. Apparently the max resolution my DiVX (6.1.1 or whatever) allows it 1280x720. The only option I have in game that's close to that is 1280x1024. If I make my Vegas template 1280x720 and render to it as well, I get a black border around the video, which is very unappeling. Any fix to this? |

@zap: Well, you're right, x264 is better. In a matroska container and the fact that it's so slow though :/ Most people on this site wouldn't bother downloading it. |
